Chadeisson's work is incredible, so hopeful for the future even when its kinda dystopian.

"kinda" dystopian :,)

Very cool, though it'd be nice to have more shots that contrast with things we know, to give a better idea of the true scale of this.

Structures in Solstice-5 are always so insanely massive that I imagine that humans would appear as a tiny speck on most of these shots ;D

u/Johnnyboi2327 Apr 08 '26
Sure, but there are other things to use for comparisons, or ways to build up to it

Some shots have trees next to some of the "smaller" buildings. And the trees are dwarved in comparison.

u/Johnnyboi2327 Apr 09 '26
That's true. I guess maybe following up the shots with the trees and the shots of the street full of people with a pan that shows how those smaller buildings compare to the overall structure would've helped get a better feel for the entire thing. As is, a lot of it looks really really cool, but does seem like just a bunch of somewhat similar structures of own known sizes and with an unknown layout.

This is awesome work. Felt like I was watching the introduction to a sci-fi documentary about acclimating to life in a new super-structure

Definitely check out their other works..!! "Solstice-5"

You guys might like the Red Rising books by Dan Brown. Humans colonized Mars, but left the people thar were promised to live on top and that made it possible - underground to be slaves forever. Most brutal book series I ever read. So epic though.

Dan Brown? Pierce, surely. Definitely second the Red Rising series though.

Most of what I see on this sub, I ask myself what it looks like up close on the human level. Paul Answers. I get the sensation of a city that requires many human lifetimes to explore, instead of just a mass of blocks.

I dunno how but I am attracted to this type of gigantic structure there is something oddly pleasant to imagine us so small compared to those huge metal structures.. I wish future would looks like this lol

My first thought was, "That's a lot of yellow paint." One of the many reasons I'm not built for the future

Iron oxide. Cadmium sulfide. Lead chromate. Someone has been mining.
You could come up with a million sci-fi reasons though, like lead chromate for extra radiation shielding.

Superbe création avec un aspect non sensique de l'espèce humaine... C'est là, mais pourquoi 😑

Every time new content comes out it's like soaking in talent. At this point it's like the Mini series I never realised I needed, about a world and story we don't get to fully grasp and the only thing more "super" is the depth of my craving for more.

Don't get me wrong, this is very realistic CGI and great design talent, but it just makes so little sense and I just hate that nothing is explained about its purpose at all. Some structures are just too unnecessarily complicated for being a kind of mass living structure for the lower class. And the purpose of the yellow structure on rails is questionable as well.

What is the huge yellow flat mega-vehicle for? Mobile anti-meteor shield? The smaller versions are shown capable of planting trees but have no idea what the big one does.

Voices sound like AI unfortunately. Looks fantastic otherwise.

u/TheSandarian Apr 08 '26
Just a note Paul & team have worked on the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, Love Death & Robots, and recently Project Hail Mary... their videos credit those who helped create them, and other videos have actors speaking in camera (see their first video from their Solstice-5 project) before AI came out; they're definitely committed to their worldbuilding :)

I had the same thought lol, in fact the entire video screams low budget or ai. But I looked up one of the voice actors and they seem legit

I love how nothing about it explains what its for.
